Not supportive spouse/SO support group!
I know it's not the most positive title, but I know there are MFPers out there that have a spouse they love who does one of these things: - Doesn't want to engage in a healthy lifestyle, and actually sabotages sometimes - Is naturally lean and thinks it's no big deal to lose weight, takes your efforts for granted - Wants…

Anyone Else Need a Paleo/Primal Challenge?
I'm suffering here. I'm allergic to wheat and I lost a lot of weight when I cut it out. But over time it's been replaced with higher calorie gluten free baked goods, and tons of rice. I hate the insulin response the white rice gives me and I still eat a ton of coconut rice that makes it hard to stay within my calorie…

Low calorie gluten free pasta satisfaction!!!
kelp noodles are the key, I tried them at a vegan restaurant and they were fantastic! Just started making them myself. They are made from seaweed, high fiber, low calorie, and very filling. They are also gluten-free, which is great for me. You can find them at whole foods or Asian grocery stores in the fridge/tofu section.…

Tips for Skinny Fat Syndrome
from a blog to help people achieve the celebrity look:http://fitnessblackbook.com/body-fat/tips-to-fix-skinny-fat-syndrome/ Some of it is controversial, but I figured we could discuss :wink: *************** I'm sure you have all heard of the term skinny fat. This when someone is chubby but doesn't take up much space. A…

Food Label Lies - you won't FREAKING Believe this!
Have you been wondering why your dutiful calorie counting hasn't resulted in the amount of weight loss you expected? The calories in your foods might be just plain WRONG. For about a year now I have been using Galeo's salad dressing. It's delicious and supposedly 14 calories per tablespoon. It has been featured on biggest…

The real black Friday
is me waking up to a 5lb gain overnight! :noway: I ate a lot, and a lot of carbs, so I'm thinking it's mostly water weight, the most I could have gained in fat is 1 lb or so, but still upsetting. I'm trying to figure out my next step. People made all these gluten free yummies just for me, now I'm not sure if I should eat…

Sleeping all day
we are both sleep deprived so other than a trip to the farmers market that's what we've been doing. I think I will get up soon and do the elliptical and maybe walk a few miles, but if i don't how many less calories should one eat on the lazy days. Does anyone vary their activity level calories with the day or just expect…

The Great HIIT debate
For interested parties, here is a good article for hiit and a good article saying hiit isn't better than steady state cardio. Why should we care? If hiit really burns way more fat than steady state, then all of us who are fit enough should be doing it. On the other hand, hiit is HARD, who wants to put themselves through it…

How do or did you know you're done?
this may seem like a silly question to some. But how will you know when you're done losing weight? Other than going off the unhealthy end of your bmi, how do you know you wouldn't look better a pound or five lighter than the weight you set as your goal? As I fluctuate around my goal weight I'm not sure if I should aim…

The Last 5 Pounds...
Are the hardest to lose! I think the biggest problem is motivation, frankly. At this point I want to lose the last 5 just so I can say I weigh less than 120lbs, and because celebrities my height are closer to 115. That doesn't seem to be motivation enough these days. When it comes to vanity pounds, it's a lot easier to…

Cereal Addict?
I think I am one. I always loved cereal (the healthy stuff like kashi, etc), but then it started to bother me. Seems to relate to gluten sensitivity, so I hadn't had cereal (except oatmeal) for almost a year. But I just love crunchy things, and I saw some gluten free flax cereal at whole foods. Tastes great! I forgot how…
